Ancestry's new image viewer

Ancestry has launched a new interactive viewing tool, currently in beta mode, for the 1911 census for the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Wales. It has a few improved navigational tools and also highlights part of the document in different colours, apparently to help you focus on the relevant household. The company explains the new set up in a post at http://blogs.ancestry.com/uk/2012/02/02/interactive-image-viewer-beta/
